Gophers and moles can be a real challenge for growers, especially if they appear in a hemp garden. These pests can damage plants and disrupt hemp cultivation. But don't despair! There are many proven tips and tricks to easily deal with these pests. In this article, we'll introduce effective methods to simply get rid of gophers and moles in your hemp garden.
Gophers vs. Moles: Differences Between These Pests
Moles and gophers are two different types of mammals. Moles are small, dark-colored, furry creatures measuring about 5 to 7 centimeters. They have tiny eyes, a pointed nose, and sharp claws. Gophers are medium-sized and measure 5 to 14 centimeters. They range in color from light brown to black. They have a small, flattened head and sharp, strong claws and teeth.
Moles are found mainly in gardens in North America, Europe, and Asia. Conversely, gophers are exclusively found in North and Central America. While moles are strictly insectivores (they don't eat plants), gophers are strict herbivores and enjoy feasting on roots and plant tubers.
Both moles and gophers have poor eyesight. However, a mole's sense of smell and a gopher's sense of touch allow them to successfully navigate extensive, dark underground pathways.
